We'll publish a verdict as data arrives. One signal does exist, and it isn't ours: 31 Linux players have reported running it under Proton, rating it Gold. That says it runs — not how fast. Recommended RAM is 4 GB — comfortably within the Machine's 16 GB.

Analysis — Colin McRae Rally on the Steam Machine

What to expect

Colin McRae Rally has no SteamOS rating yet. A similar game we do rate, EA SPORTS WRC, lands red on the Steam Machine — a reasonable first guide until this one gets its own verdict.

Steam lists only partial controller support — some menus or modes may still want a mouse, and Steam Input's community layouts are the first thing to try.
